Naples without Victor Osimhen: Antonio Conte goes down flat

On the sidelines of the serious defeat, there are the market elements.

Calciomercato Napoli: the 3-0 defeat in Verona has further highlighted the problems already denounced in recent weeks by the Azzurri team, with Antonio Conte who, in the aftermath of the Bentegodi match, took full responsibility for what happened on the field. At the same time, però he also wanted to clarify his point of view on the case involving Victor Osimhen.

"This question should be put to the club and not to me,” Conte told 'Sky Sport' when teased on the issue. What I have seen since the training camp è that Osimhen trains separately. But on this issue you absolutely must not talk to me, but only to the club. I, as I have said from the beginning, immediately put myself in the position of a spectator in this matter".

Regarding the Nigerian striker's future, the main hypothesis leads to a move to Chelsea. The most difficult obstacles are currently represented by Osimhen's high salary, but also by the high demands of Napoli. It should be noted that the Scudetto center forward's rescission clause is as high as 130 million euros.

After the Verona match, in any case, Conte wanted to reject the idea that Napoli's problems are all the result of the soccer market. "I am concerned that we dissolve in this way at the first difficulty. From the market can come one, two, three, four players, or as many as the club wants to take. But the problem has to be solved upstream, and it is not è easy to do it", admitted the blue coach.
